El alquiler de motos acuáticas aumenta en España gracias a la rapidez con la que se obtiene un título de navegación barato y sin examen. ¿Convendría una regulación más estricta para evitar accidentes y abusos de los usuarios? Se lo preguntamos a Francisco Miguel Freire (Asmotac) y a Fermín Giménez, gerente de una empresa de náutica en La Herradura.

Immigration remains a hot-button in American politics, but Javier Zamora tells the story of his own entry into the United States—a journey and a story that put a human face on the issue.    Zamora is the author of “SOLITO,” his New York Times bestselling memoir and is the 2024 Reading Across Rhode Island Selection. Born in La Herradura, El Salvador in 1990, his parents fled the country due to the U.S.-funded Salvadoran Civil War from 1980-1992. Zamora was raised by his grandparents until the age of nine when he began his nine-week odyssey to Arizona. His memoir recounts the perilous journey. He is the author of a poetry collection entitled, “Unaccompanied.” He holds fellowships from CantoMundo, Colgate University, MacDowell, Macondo, the National Endowment for the Arts, Poetry Foundation, Stanford University and Yaddo. He is the recipient of a 2017 Lannan Literary Fellowship, the 2017 Narrative Prize and the 2016 Barnes & Noble Writer for Writers Award for his work in the Undocupoets Campaign. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pocas personas conocen el mito detrás de la leyenda del hombre lobo, también conocido como licántropo. Esta se extiende por el mundo desde hace siglos, con pequeñas variaciones y siempre acompañada de terribles anécdotas de noches de luna llena.Ya en el siglo II se detectaron casos de licantropía, que Marcellus de Sidón describió como “una especie de melancolía”. Se trataba de una enfermedad mental que causaba a los que la padecían la sensación de transmutarse en algún animal.La leyenda del hombre lobo se vio propagada una vez se comprobaron los efectos que la luna llena tenía en el comportamiento de las personas.Durante el siglo XVI se detectaron los casos más notorios de licántropos. En 1521, Pierre Burgot y Michel Verdun, una famosa pareja de as3s1n0s en serie, fueron acusados de licántropos y ejecutados. El caso más sonado fue el de Peter Stumpp en Alemania (1598), cuyos vecinos afirmaron haberle visto en su forma animal y más tarde volver a su forma humana. Peter fue acusado de hasta 60 asesinatos en un mismo día. La leyenda del hombre lobo se remonta mucho tiempo atrás, antes de los mitos narrados. En el año 1 a.C. el poeta romano Ovidio escribió Las Metamorfosis (poema compuesto por 15 libros). En el primer libro nos contaba la historia del rey Licaón – cuyo nombre dio origen al termino licántropo – un hombre religioso y culto, que llevó su devoción al extremo. Acabó tomando parte en sacrificios que derivaron en antropofagia. En la historia Licaón ofendió a los dioses sirviéndoles carne humana para cenar. Fue castigado por ello convirtiéndose en hombre lobo, de esta manera siguió con sus crueles asesinatos ya sin su forma humana.Cuenta la leyenda que cada 10 años, si no había comido carne humana en ese tiempo, podía volver a su forma original, pero cada vez que llegaba ese momento, aprovechaba para retomar sus ritos y sacrificios. Con cada luna llena Licaón salía al claro del bosque y aullaba a Zeus para que éste le perdonase.Existen teorías muy diversas, pero ésta parece ser una de las que mejor explica el origen del mito los licántropos.▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Agradecemos a Reke Hdzv por habernos compartido este relato.Él explica que es originario de una apartada comunidad rural llamada Xilita en el estado de San Luis Potosí, México.

As you can imagine I have many places on my travel bucket list, and I got to finally visit Granada in Andalucía in southern Spain this month, which was at the very top of that list. The city did not disappoint, and I had very high expectations. I really wanted to go to Granada to see the final capital of Moorish Spain and learn about history from the Moorish perspective and their influence on European food, architecture, culture and science. The most obvious example of this Moorish influence is the Alhambra which looms over the town. The Alhambra is a huge medieval middle eastern style complex overlooking the city encompassing forts, royal palaces, serene gardens, fountains and pools. My episode today is all about my top travel tips when visiting this glorious city.Websites: www.turgranada.es / www.andalucia.org / www.spain.info Recommended ActivitiesCosta Tropical Lunch at Chambao de Joaquín restaurant, in La Herradura.

Pepe Mujica es una de las figuras más importantes de Uruguay y de Latinoamérica. Es reconocido internacionalmente como el presidente más pobre del mundo, aunque él no se cansa de insistir que no es pobre sino sobrio. Y que el mundo es el que está loco si se sorprende al escuchar a un hombre con sentido común. Lo cierto es que son muchas las participaciones de Pepe en innumerables conferencias, programas de radio y televisión, videos de youtube que destacan sus frases más significativas, personas de todo el mundo quieren conseguir una entrevista con él, o al menos tener una conversación con una leyenda que tenemos la suerte de tener con vida. El último gran héroe del siglo XX quizás, uno de los grandes protagonistas de la historia que quisieron cambiar el mundo y el Pepe lo sigue intentando. Aunque admita que es como un monje gritando en el desierto. Pepe sorprendió con un gran discurso en la Organización de Naciones Unidas, video que se puede encontrar fácilmente en youtube y también en el libro cultural de La Herradura. Y por con este podcast no quiero repetir lo que fácilmente pueden encontrar en una búsqueda rápida pero sí resaltar algunas de sus frases que resuenan en la cultura uruguaya y mucho más allá de sus fronteras. Quiero con este pequeño podcast de este pequeño presidente de este pequeño país continuar con la serie que comenzamos hace algunas semanas hablando de escritores uruguayos. Porque considero que Pepe, al igual que Galeano o Benedetti se expresa con una profundidad y simpleza que fascina a todos los que no perdemos oportunidad de escucharlo cuando se presenta la ocasión. Y lo mejor de todo es que Pepe también escribe con actos, con políticas concretas que ayudaron a posicionar a Uruguay como el país con leyes más progresistas de América Latina, y siempre con el encanto de un poeta que dice lo que piensa y hace lo que dice.

Uruguay cultural es un podcast que decidimos crear para complementar la comunicación con nuestros estudiantes, invitar a nuevos alumnos y promover el conocimiento sobre la cultura de Uruguay. Todos los episodios van a ser con un español accesible a estudiantes de nivel intermedio y avanzado, pero también recomendados para estudiantes iniciales. El podcast es un formato extremadamente práctico para escuchar al mismo tiempo que hacemos otras actividades como caminar, correr, cocinar, limpiar la casa, pasear por el parque o escuchar antes de ir a dormir. Los temas van a estar relacionados principalmente con la cultura uruguaya, historia, música, gastronomía, turismo y muchos otros temas que van a ir surgiendo con las recomendaciones y respuestas de nuestros oyentes y estudiantes. Los invitamos a participar enviando sus audios en español para integrarlos a los siguientes episodios. El objetivo principal es mantenernos comunicados, y si lo hacemos en español, mucho mejor. A disfrutar!

On January 26, 2021 the Lannan Center presented a Crowdcast webinar featuring Javier Zamora and Natalie Scenters-Zapico. Introductions by Lannan Fellows Dennese Mae Javier and Nohora Arrieta Fernandez. Moderated by Carolyn Forché.Javier Zamora was born in La Herradura, El Salvador in 1990. His father fled El Salvador when he was a year old; and his mother when he was about to turn five. Both parents’ migrations were caused by the US-funded Salvadoran Civil War (1980-1992). In 1999, Javier migrated through Guatemala, Mexico, and eventually the Sonoran Desert. After a coyote abandoned his group in Oaxaca, Javier managed to make it to Arizona with the aid of other migrants. His first full-length collection, Unaccompanied (Copper Canyon Press, 2017), explores how immigration and the civil war have impacted his family. About Natalie Scenters-ZapicoNatalie Scenters-Zapico is a poet, educator, and activist from the sister cities of El Paso, Texas, USA and Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, México. She is the author of Lima :: Limón (Copper Canyon Press 2019) and The Verging Cities (Colorado State University 2015). Her poems have been published and anthologized in a wide range of nationally and internationally distributed journals including POETRY, The Paris Review, Kenyon Review, and Best American Poetry 2015.

Day forty eight, On yer bike! Life behind the police lines in Lockdown Spain for a British couple and their three good legs cat.   Find out more at: https://www.thesecretspain.com Day 48 On yer bike! It is day 48 of our Spanish Lockdown, slowly we are unpicking that lock, last week, the children could go out for a bit of exercise, today we can join them. I went for a walk, I planned to take a gentle ramble into the countryside, maybe accompanied by my trust tape recorder, giving you a walk with nature, maybe accompanied by three good legs cat, who I take, or rather he takes me on his lead.  He is a bit of a cat dog, in respect that he will tolerate a lead and loves to sniff and explore every nook and cranny along the way.   Instead we headed for Petri and Justin’s big house on the corner.  Petri called from the UK.. “Justin is worried about the tall palm, can you take a look.”    So we both took a walk to the house, took some pictures of the palm, it is growing the fruit tendrils, which Justin would like cut off.  When palms fruit they grow masses of these weird flowery things that one, make a mess and two are loved by rats.   It was nice to leave the house and to think that the Police are not going to stop us for going for a walk. Although back in bad luck La Herradura an English couple rocked up to the beach complete with deckchairs and picnic lunch. The sojourn lasted exactly ten minutes before the police arrived and explained to them that sitting in a deckchair swigging beer might be considered an English exercise – but not here in Spain.   Day 48 I am a bit filthy.  I got up this morning helped clean the pool, then threaded to mains cable through a wall to power our WiFi extender.  Now I have a very expensive and brand new MacBook.  After my other machine burnt out. I have to say, I prefer the older machine, it was better at picking the wifi up, it had considerably more sockets to attach stuff, including normal USB, not what Apple call Thunderbolt, the keyboard rattles, I loved the silent keyboard of the old machine, I could write little notes when when I was live recording with a microphone near by.   Steve Jobs mantra was always “is it better” just making something sleeker and thinner and shinier, doesn’t mean that it is better. It also gets very hot and the battery at the moment says 8% grrrr.   The local Spanish shy away from expensive Apple products, most of the phones you see when you are out and about are Android, computers tend to be P.C. based and much cheaper.  I think the Spanish are far more sensible when it comes to buying in to the Apple experience, as I guess the folk at Cupertino would call it.   So I have had to move the wifi nearer the machine and that involves drilling out more of the horrible white dusty rendering that most houses have on their walls.   So not at all the chilled day I was planning, then I fell asleep outside, in the shade but the midday temperatures have suddenly jumped back to what they should be.  I woke from my doze, overheated and vaguely remember dreaming about Barry Manilow, .. I have no idea why.   Chris has gone off for a walk accompanied by next doors dog, it is still really too hot to go out walking.  The Spanish are used to the heat here.  When summer comes you will see them in the early morning and then they disappear for the rest of the day, returning about 6-7pm in the evening where they will come out be social and finally have something to eat at about 10.30pm, after that maybe spending time out on the street or in a bar till 2 or 3am.   The late night life also includes the children who seem to be quite happy playing in the playgrounds until the early hours, I don’t know how it might affect their education and how tired they might be at 9am when school starts in the morning, but that is life under a hot sun.   The sun is not your friend and sitting out on a beach in the midday sun does really only fall to mad dogs and Englishmen. Oh and a few Germans and other northern Europeans.  The Spanish respect the sun, they hide away from it, even when they are on holiday. Sitting in the shade of a bar, drinking coffee, soft drinks or the odd beer, chatting with friends, that does seem to be what the majority of home-grown tourists do.   Early this morning we were greeted by another magical sight.. the cyclists have returned, not in great packs but enjoying a short healthy cycle for a mile or so and then back home.   We both had cycles back in the UK, I gave up cycling when a bus driver attempted to knock me over as he wanted to get to his bus stop I was passing.  I found cycling in Britain a cold and miserable experience, you seem to be universally hated by motorists.  The cyclists are just as guilty, some ride aggressively, through red lights and the like.  I remember once we were going to work, stopped at a set of red lights at London Wall, when suddenly a cyclist shot down the nearside of the car, smashed into our side mirror, breaking it off its mounting and simultaneously calling me a see you next Tuesday as he jumped over a set of red lights narrowly missing traffic coming from the other direction.   Here there seems to be a much more relaxed approach to cyclists, they are indulged and allowed to meander in front of you. I think it is because they are tourists and bring much needed income into the local economy, something I really hope will be able to start up again soon.       

Day forty seven, Bank Robbers and other Bees. Life behind the police lines in Lockdown Spain for a British couple and their three good legs cat.   Find out more at: https://www.thesecretspain.com Day 47 Bank robbers and other bees It is day 47 of our Spanish Lockdown and the wind has dropped, the sun has come out and the world looks a better place. And you find me outside. Tomorrow we are allowed out to exercise, of course there is an awful lot of complex times and where and when you can go, how old you are as to when you go and there many tables to pour over to make sure you don’t end up with a fine from the Guardia. Municipalities under thousand can go out when they want.  Poor old La Herradura, a small holiday resort that was under 5 thousand on the electoral role has found it number increase this year thanks to the thing that must never be named, so they now have 5,134 residents, in theory – living there. So they have to abide by the times set out by the government. Our niece Facetimed this afternoon, she was surprised that we hadn’t even been let out to exercise from the start.  Britain lockdown is a much looser affair, with large shops already opening like BandQ.  Our own chain of DIY store - Leroy Merlin – still has it’s door firmly shut. I am sitting here in the relative peace of the lower terrace, probably the first time I have been able to sit down here since early February.  The birds are singing and there is a buzz of bees below helping themselves to the nectar from the wild flowers that are growing in abundance thanks to the wet weather.   It was a warm sunny day like this when we went to take a look at a new development of luxury flats in the small coastal town of Castell de Ferro. I think the word luxury gets very overused, you can get luxury chocolate, luxury bath salts and of course luxury travel.. well you used to able to.   The flats appeared to be quite well built, the one we had decided to invest in was somewhat narrow, had the oddness of the master bedroom having an onsuite that was also the only bathroom in the flat.   The Spanish love quite narrow small rooms, I guess that the British obsession with getting as much natural light into the place, just doesn’t matter as the purpose of going inside is usually to escape the sun and the heat.  You often see on those places in the sun shows, Brits moaning about how gloomy it is inside. So we couldn’t loose buying into this development, people were making fistfuls of cash, flipping properties within a few months of buying them. So it seemed a sound investment.  Spain was on the up, there seemed to be a building crane at every corner.  The sun was shining, and every night was fiesta night.   I guess with foresight, that Utopia had to come to a crashing end.  And crash it did, with the financial crisis, Spain, pretty much fell into the Mediterranean Sea.  The crisis unearthed all sorts of dubious land deals, even our block of flats was very near to an ancient fort, indeed the house they planned involved removing ancient pine forest growing up the side of the fort, already land had been cleared and the first flats built mostly with views of somebody’s rendered wall.   Worse the Spanish banks had been giving mortgages out to anybody that happened to be passing by the door.  Even our bank in the UK were, let us say, laissez faire.  We presented ourselves to the British bank and told them we wanted to borrow fifty thousand pounds.   We were expecting, forgive me, the Spanish Inquisition, what we got was a cup of hot tea, they took a quick look at our bank account, there was some tapping of computer keys and then a ‘ding’ and we were told the money would be in the account in a couple of days.   I don’t know why we didn’t hear the alarm bells ringing from that moment on, but my tea had even gone cold and we had enough money to put the deposits required down on the flat in the sun.   So the 2008 crisis struck Spain and the building companies went down like dominoes, the banks were left with bad debt and hundreds and thousands of half built flats and houses, a handful of ghost towns and even a ghost airport.  It was a mess, a disaster for the Spanish.   But never mind we have a bank guarantee, so we can ask for our deposit back.  They told us, “Er we have already spent your money so you can’t have it back”. We said “But we have a guarantee, that is against the law to do that!”   They said “Yes it is, and you are most welcome to sue us.”  As I have mentioned the legal process in Spain is slow.. very slow, like maybe ten years and very expensive, and you do not get your costs back, so you could end up seriously out of pocket, even if you have right on your side.   So the banks got away with it, as they often do and probably will do again when we are finally out of Lockdown.   That reminds me tomorrow we can both leave the casa, together, go for a brisk walk .. not too far and at the appointed time for our age group and health situation. So here’s to a change of scenery and a breath of proper fresh air.               

This week Too Skinny freestyles and runs out of breath, thoughts on the new Tesla truck, and talks about last time he got in a physical fight.

Debbie Skyrme is a Celebrant who lives in La Herradura on Granada’s Costa Tropical. Debbie and her partner, Jay, have lived in Spain since 2010, firstly renovating an old cortijo in the middle of the countryside before moving to the coast. Debbie had two very different career paths back in her native UK, firstly as a successful IT Trainer who was once headhunted by Microsoft and then as a Registrar of Births, Marriages and Deaths. It seems that her empathy and love of a celebration, having been brought up in a family that celebrated well, have both resulted in Debbie finding the perfect role for herself in her new home.
